NEW YORK, Nov 3 — US civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who has Parkinson’s disease, left the hospital yesterday after falling and hitting his head the day before at Howard University.
“I want to express my thanks to the doctors and nurses at Howard University for giving me the best of service,” said Jackson, who had a bandage on the left side of his forehead and was surrounded by medical professionals. Jackson has been a leader of the US civil rights movement since the mid-1960s and was with Martin Luther King when he was assassinated in 1968.
Broadcaster CNN said the results of Jackson’s medical tests proved normal, and hospital officials decided to keep him overnight for observation.
